Six Great Gifts For Giving 8/28/12
Tuesday is here and so are six neat items for giving. An eclectic collection of items for the home and a vintage piece of jewelry or two!
From: I Paint It Pretty
Description: This is a hand painted tote bag with Autumn colored flowers. The seasonal red, orange and yellow flowers make this bag a cool Fall accessory. There are bright green and white leaves to compliment the flowers. A pretty silver butterfly charm adds its own sparkle. This is a fun bag that you’ll find yourself going back to again and again.
13.5 in x 13.5 in x 3.5 in

Description: This is a OOAK hand painted tile trivet with purple and white flowers. It has bright green and white vines swirling around the flowers. This gives it a nice sense of depth and movement. It can be used to hold something hot or just for a decorative accent. It’s a great way to add a splash of color to your kitchen.
From: Repurposed Treasure
Description: The graceful movement of a ballerina is perfectly captured in this lovely pin, circa 1950.
It is 2″ long by 1 3/4″ wide .
Non magnetic golden material.
Clasp is a little tight, but works properly.
There is some slight wear to the finish at the tip of the toes and very top of the head. Noticable only very close up in proper light.
Overall very good vintage/used condition.

Description: 1960’s KENNETH JAY LANE KJL STAR BROOCH PENDANT LARGE
Kenneth Jay Lane Signed (K.J.L.) Brooch / Pin Pendant from the 1960’s
This rare Kenneth Jay Lane Brooch/Pendant is a stunning statement piece. It is in excellent condition, and is signed K.J.L. This is an early Lane mark, from the 1960’s.
The center of the star is nicely cut pave rhinestones, and is lifted a bit from the frame, giving dimension. The additional smaller points of the star are just at bottom of the frame level and also pave rhinestones. The piece is framed in a gold tone. Pin closure operates properly, and there is a hook to enable use as a pendant as well.
A truly beautiful piece which will undoubtedly continue to increase in value.

Description: This professionally printed 8 x 10 canvas giclee print of two giraffes is a reproduction of my original paper sculpture collage titled “Under the Sun”. Giclee prints are produced from a large format, high-resolution ink-jet printer and printed with archival inks.This jungle animal print would look great in a baby’s nursery or a child’s room.
It would also make a unique baby shower gift.

Description: This professionally printed 8 x 10 canvas giclee print of two zebras is a reproduction of my original paper sculpture collage. The original was created by handpainting watercolor paper using acrylic paint and then cutting, bending and layering the paper to create depth.
Giclee prints are produced from a large format, high-resolution ink-jet printer and printed with archival inks.
A mama zebra gently nuzzles her baby under a brilliant orange sun in “Eskimo Kiss”.
This print would look great with “Dandy Lions” or “Giraffes” hanging in a jungle themed nursery or playroom.
Thank you for stopping in and having a look.
The Alchemists Vessel would like to wish you a pleasant day.
A Featured Website
Usually on Thursday’s I try to feature an artist or something that is unique and interesting. I would love it if those that read the blog (or just know it exists) would like to participate by sending me bios and links to your products, artworks, jewelry, whatever, and we can feature you and get you out to the masses or at least a new audience!
Today’s featured site is a new one that I have come across called “Pinterest”. Many of you that have an Etsy account may have seen the new button “Pin It”. This is a direct link to the Pinterest site, like clicking the F for Like on Facebook or the +1 for Google.
Pinterest in currently an invitation only sign up. I can invite friends! If Digg is for links than Pinterest is for pictures. Set up like a bulletin or cork-board, you can “pin” things you like on to separate boards, create categories on anything, and save these things on your Pinterest Boards. You can look at, share and “re-pin” other users finds and boards as well. I am unsure if you can view the boards without an account, but the link to mine is below. I just started yesterday so I don’t have much “pinned” yet. If you would like an invitation, please e-mail or leave a comment here. Or follow the link and sign up at the page. All that is required is an e-mail address. They do ask that you sign in with Facebook, you cannot, however, directly pin things from Facebook to Pinterest, which is stupid, but that’s the way it works.
They do ask that you do not use the boards for self promotion and this where your friends and networking comes in! You may pin something that you made, sure, but do not use the boards to sell, promote or push yourself, your items or other things down the throats of others. Get your friends organized, pin each others items, products, whatever to each others boards. You will not only get views but an entirely new group of people will see your stuff!
So get in there and start pinning!
